Lindsay Clancy and her legal team returned to court on Tuesday, arguing that the state of Massachusetts failed to prove she killed her children — a claim that prosecutors called “laughable.” This marks the first hearing since Clancy’s triple murder trial ended in a mistrial earlier this month. The hearing in Plymouth Superior Court, which began just before 10 a.m., included a number of motions filed since the trial concluded. Judge William Sullivan immediately punted some of those motions to a later date, noting that he, and some parties, were not ready for them to be argued. One of those...

A couple in their late 70s gunned down their son-in-law in a California city park over the weekend, authorities said, and court documents showed the victim had been in a bitter custody dispute with their daughter. Jonathan McKinsey, a 40-year-old gaming engineer for The New York Times, was shot to death Saturday afternoon in the parking lot of a sports complex in Dublin, east of San Francisco. A police sergeant was driving nearby and saw him on the ground as witnesses began calling 911 and pointing out the couple, who were still near the scene, Dublin Police Services said in...

Earlier this month, Gehad el-Haddad, a senior adviser and media spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood was sentenced to life in prison in Egpyt. The son of Morsi’s former foreign affairs adviser Essam el-Haddad, he was the main English-language spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood. He is also a former employee of the Clinton Foundation. Oops! In 2012, Gehad El Haddad divided his time between volunteering for the Muslim Brotherhood and heading the Cairo office of the Clinton Climate Initiative, but later that year began to work full time for the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Associated Press should be ashamed. Just two days ago, they were the recipients of a Community Note after their X post conveniently omitted some important facts about the murder of Tasia Fortune.Fortune, of Jackson, Mississippi, was found hanging in a tree. Democrats and the media pretended Fortune's murder was a race-based lynching. It wasn't. On September 14, the AP itself reported that Jarques Ratliff, who was associated with Fortune, was arrested on September 11. Yet on September 21, the AP wrote on X that Fortune's death "stirred distressing memories of the grim history of lynchings across the U.S. South."Now...

Both their lives were ended by a bullet. But was the trigger pulled by the same finger? For 95 years, the death of Geli Raubal, Adolf Hitler’s niece, has been considered a suicide. However, new evidence may have added another victim to the millions whose lives were claimed by the Nazi dictator. Until now, Hitler has had one thing in his defence: an alibi that placed him in Nuremberg rather than his Munich apartment, where the 23-year-old’s body was found in 1931. But Harald Sandner, a German historian, said he had uncovered a “crushing mass” of evidence that placed Hitler...

The widow of an elderly Filipino-American man has relived the devastating attack inside a Virginia Walmart which led to the death of her husband. Bert Atienza, 77, died a day after he was suddenly assaulted inside the store on June 7. Erika Mitchell, 42, and Travis White, 44, now face second-degree murder charges, according to court records seen by News 3. Both are being held without bond. A 17-year-old Walmart employee also faces charges for assault and battery, aggravated malicious wounding, and conspiracy to commit a felony, according to the outlet. Josephine Atienza, Bert's wife of 42 years, spoke about...

Do we have time for one more look at the insane women who made up the Lindsay Clancy jury, now that, according to The Boston Globe, the lone holdout juror is "getting the negative attention he deserves"? The other jurors claim that the holdout disregarded jury instructions, but the jury had one job: to determine Clancy's innocence or guilt. Not to make a feminist statement. Not to get a national conversation going. Just determine innocence or guilt, based on the facts. The facts are that Clancy murdered her three children, aged 5 years to 8 months, with an exercise band....

Mayor Zohran Mamdani offered condolences Thursday for an accused murderer who died in Department of Corrections custody — mentioning nothing of the victim he allegedly killed. Luis Alberto Lopez Castillo was facing murder, manslaughter, robbery and weapons charges in connection with the 2025 slaying of 26-year-old autistic man Ron Marte. Castillo was accused of robbing Marte of his cellphone during an early morning ambush in the Bronx’s Starlight Park, where Castillo’s alleged accomplice, Axel Martinez, reportedly shot Marte in the chest as he walked home from an Amazon warehouse shift. “I extend my condolences to his family,” Mamdani wrote about...

The holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial has broken his silence, saying eight fellow jurors behaved like “activists” who wanted her found not guilty from the first day of deliberations He said that even as three young children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, lay at the center of the case due to their brutal murders, other jurors wanted to exonerate Clancy almost immediately. Michael P. Desronvil, 48, of Bridgewater, Massachusetts spoke with Fugitive TV’s Ray Marcel after a mistrial was declared September 4. Judge William Sullivan ended the trial after the jury of nine women and...

The US accused Russian intelligence operatives of orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot targeting a Kremlin critic believed to be living in Washington, DC. In documents unsealed on Tuesday, federal prosecutors claim the conspiracy was part of a broader global network that recruited people to carry out assassinations and terrorist attacks on behalf of Moscow. The five men charged in the incitement allegedly worked for Russia’s intelligence services, and are accused of being paid and attempting to pay others in the US and abroad to surveil and kill Russian dissidents. Three of the defendants also face conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire charges. All...

CLEARWATER, Fla. (WFLA) — A witness in the murder trial of plastic surgeon Dr. Tomasz Kosowski testified Tuesday that she saw him around the law firm where attorney Steven Cozzi worked before Cozzi disappeared. Kosowski is accused of killing Cozzi, whose body has never been found. He is representing himself at trial. The witness testified that she first noticed a man peering into the windows of Blanchard Law days before Cozzi disappeared. She said she later encountered the same man standing inside an electrical closet in the building. According to her testimony, the man mentioned a power problem, but she...

America, I regret to inform you that the Clancy jurors are still talking. One juror in particular is continuing to do massive damage to the credibility of the 11-1 decision that resulted in a mistrial. Nine "angry women" and two beta-males were unwilling to convict Clancy, and it increasingly looks like they had an axe to grind. The lone holdout juror — a black man effectively doxxed in a smear campaign — was ultimately able to hold true to his convictions despite what looks like an agenda-driven environment. The picture these women are painting with their needless comments is that...

Sisters Alicia and Christie Duncan were originally only granted 48 hours notice that their mother was going to be euthanised. It was Sunday, October 24, 2021, when 61-year-old Donna confessed to her family that she had been approved for Canada’s assisted-dying programme, officially known as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). Her death was scheduled for the following Tuesday - expedited due to her having qualified for Canada's streamlined 'Track 1' pathway, reserved for individuals whose natural death is reasonably foreseeable. But Donna was not terminally ill, according to her daughters, who insist she was in the midst of a spiralling...

Coroner identifies woman found hanging from a tree behind a vacant Jackson home The Hinds County coroner has identified Tasia Fortune as the woman found hanging from a tree behind a vacant home in Jackson earlier this week. Jackson police declined to release details that might explain how Fortune, a 29-year-old Black woman, ended up in the manner she was discovered Monday that evoked memories of the South’s history of lynching. The coroner’s office said her family has been notified. Her body was sent to the Mississippi State Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy. LaToni Fortune told Mississippi Today on...

The woman behind the fundraiser that has amassed $1.2 million for Lindsay Clancy’s parents is a 42-year-old separated Wisconsin TikTok mom-of-three whose efforts could ultimately enrich the killer mom. Brandee Mulligan — who has no affiliation with 36-year-old Clancy, her ex-husband, Patrick, or her parents, Michael and Paula Musgrove — set up a GoFundMe page last month without speaking to them... “And as a mom, like your heart just goes out to Lindsay,” she said of why she started “The Musgrove Family Fund.” “And I don’t want to focus too much on the Lindsay aspect of it. But I mean,...

An incredibly bloody and horrific crime occurred earlier this week in Texas that could have been avoided had authorities done their job. As FOX 7 Austin reported, 62-year-old Andrew James Wimsatt, an accomplished civil engineer who published several notable works, was seen in video footage obtained from a neighborhood HOA sitting on a park bench in Round Rock at roughly 10:55 a.m. on September 7. Then his life ended a few minutes later. The footage goes on to show a black male with a knife in his hand sneaking up behind Wimsatt. The black person proceeds to stab Wimsatt multiple...

For several days the pontificating media have been parading around the various jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, using the mostly white women to frame the deliberations as sexist and insensitive to the emotional plight of a woman who strangled her three children to death with an exercise band. Millions of middle-age, suburban, angry white females have proclaimed that American men should not have an opinion in the case while simultaneously using toxic sympathy as a weapon to defend the murderer. The previously described “one male holdout juror” who created a mistrial by failing to find the murdering mother...

Room full of women on the Oprah show starts cheering after a doctor says that black female child murderers need to be supported too, not just the white child murderers like Lindsay Clancy. "I want us to have the same passion for [female child murderers] who don't look like Lindsay." "There are women of color sitting around this country in prisons for [murdering their children]. I just wanna remind us to have the pink shirts and the energy for them as well." Totally insane.

The declaration of a mistrial in the filicide case of Lindsay Clancy coincides, for me uncomfortably, with a new UK reissue of my 2003 breakout novel We Need to Talk About Kevin. The book concerns a mother whose son becomes a high-school mass murderer. She agonises over whether something has always been wrong with him or something is wrong with him because something is wrong with her. Prior to publication, I’d imagined that the commercial hook would be the frequency with which self-pitying adolescents were taking their misery out on their classmates and teachers, since when I wrote the novel...
